Problem is, if you replace blind faith in a doctrine of religion with blind faith in a doctrine of a humanist control system (and cryptofascist uniforms to go with it) - where's the real change? Star Trek perfectly illustrates the Hegelian nature of modern belief- swap one control system for another - red pill or blue pill?
Here's an idea, how about no fucking pill at all, or a whole handful of multicolored ones?
Guided choice and outsourced outrage is just as fatal as blind obedience.

Fight Club's a better religion than any of them.
